A new online marketing technique has come about the last few years, you may have heard about the free iPod schemes a while ago, well now they are back but bigger and better allowing you to get almost any item free.
This new marketing method is based on a referral system and actively encourages people to view company offers in exchange for a free gift such as an iPhone, Wii or Apple Macbook. What makes this even better is you can complete some offers without paying a penny. For example you can sign up to the 2 week free lovefilm trial, and rent DVD free of charge for 2 weeks! Its a win win situation.
When you complete an offer, you become a potential customer to the company. Businesses place a very high value on people viewing their products and services and are banking that 1 in 100 people that sign up for the trial, will grow to a full customer.
To help you understand the full process I have broken it down into steps
- you sign up for a free trial with a company
- that company then pays a pre-agreed fee for every referral/sign up from the reward website
- you want a free playstation 3, which costs £279.00
- you need to get 13 referrals to get your free playstation 3
- the company then pays the reward site once you have referred 15 people to them via their link
- reward site orders you playstation 3
- the remaining money is absorbed by the reward site as profit
At the end of all of this, this means-
- the reward site has made a profit
- the company has had exposure to 10 new potential customers
- you have your chosen free gift - free playstion 3, free xbox 360, free nintendo wii for example
